Seems to me, those would really be a sawdust/chip catcher. Need some air pressure to blow them out frequently!
These just may end up on ebay.

I think that the tapered part would have rock in the hole as it was raised or lowered, as the pivot is at the top of the tapered part.
On the list for my next trip to Lee Valley.
Mortised Bench Stop

I have one of these toward the left front of my bench. I put it there many years ago and I use it frequently for hand planes. They work well and much better than the dropped in wooden pins I also have for such things. The teeth do bite into the wood a tiny bit which helps. They were made of zink so they would not destroy a plane iron if you hit it.
Mounting is no big deal... A drop of oil on the threads keeps it working with your fingers.
